¹ And Moses hath been feeding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, priest of Midian, and he leadeth the flock behind the wilderness, and cometh in unto the mount of God, to Horeb;

¹ And Jethro priest of Midian, father-in-law of Moses, heareth all that God hath done for Moses, and for Israel his people, that Jehovah hath brought out Israel from Egypt,

²⁹ And Moses saith to Hobab son of Raguel the Midianite, father-in-law of Moses, `We are journeying unto the place of which Jehovah hath said, I give it to you; go with us, and we have done good to thee; for Jehovah hath spoken good concerning Israel.'

²¹ And he seeth the Kenite, and taketh up his simile, and saith: `Enduring is thy dwelling, And setting in a rock thy nest,

³³ and their border is from Heleph, from Allon in Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakkum, and its outgoings are at the Jordan;

¹⁶ And the sons of the Kenite, father-in-law of Moses, have gone up out of the city of palms with the sons of Judah to the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad, and they go and dwell with the people.

¹² and turned back from Sarid eastward, at the sun-rising, by the border of Chisloth-Tabor, and gone out unto Daberath, and gone up to Japhia,

³⁴ and the border hath turned back westward to Aznoth-Tabor, and gone out thence to Hukkok, and touched against Zebulun on the south, and against Asher it hath touched on the west, and against Judah at the Jordan, at the sun-rising;

² and Jehovah selleth them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who hath reigned in Hazor, and the head of his host is Sisera, and he is dwelling in Harosheth of the Goyim; ³ and the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, for he hath nine hundred chariots of iron, and he hath oppressed the sons of Israel mightily twenty years.

⁷ and I have drawn unto thee, unto the brook Kishon, Sisera, head of the host of Jabin, and his chariot, and his multitude, and have given him into thy hand.'

¹⁴ And Lot goeth out, and speaketh unto his sons-in-law, those taking his daughters, and saith, `Rise, go out from this place, for Jehovah is destroying the city;' and he is as one mocking in the eyes of his sons-in-law.

⁴ they have gone out of the city—they have not gone far off—and Joseph hath said to him who is over his house, `Rise, pursue after the men; and thou hast overtaken them, and thou hast said unto them, Why have ye recompensed evil for good?

³ and thou hast known to-day, that Jehovah thy God is He who is passing over before thee—a fire consuming; He doth destroy them, and He doth humble them before thee, and thou hast dispossessed them, and destroyed them hastily, as Jehovah hath spoken to thee.

¹³ `Rise, sanctify the people, and thou hast said, Sanctify yourselves for to-morrow; for thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, A devoted thing is in thy midst, O Israel, thou art not able to stand before thine enemies till your turning aside of the devoted thing out of your midst;

²⁸ and he saith unto her, `Rise, and we go;' and there is none answering, and he taketh her on the ass, and the man riseth and goeth to his place,

²⁶ And they rise early, and it cometh to pass, at the ascending of the dawn, that Samuel calleth unto Saul, on the roof, saying, `Rise, and I send thee away;' and Saul riseth, and they go out, both of them—he and Samuel, without.

²⁴ and it cometh to pass, in thy hearing the sound of a stepping in the tops of the mulberries, then thou dost move sharply, for then hath Jehovah gone out before thee to smite in the camp of the Philistines.'

⁷ O God, in Thy going forth before Thy people, In Thy stepping through the wilderness, Selah. ⁸ The earth hath shaken, Yea, the heavens have dropped before God, This Sinai—before God, the God of Israel.

¹² For not in haste do ye go out, Yea, with flight ye go not on, For going before you is Jehovah, And gathering you is the God of Israel!

¹³ Gone up hath the breaker before them, They have broken through, Yea, they pass through the gate, Yea, they go out through it, And pass on doth their king before them, And Jehovah at their head!

¹⁰ and Jehovah doth crush them before Israel, and it smiteth them—a great smiting—at Gibeon, and pursueth them the way of the ascent of Beth-Horon, and smiteth them unto Azekah, and unto Makkedah.

²⁰ From the heavens they fought: The stars from their highways fought with Sisera. ²¹ The brook Kishon swept them away, The brook most ancient—the brook Kishon. Thou dost tread down strength, O my soul!

⁶ seeing Jehovah hath caused the camp of Aram to hear a noise of chariot and a noise of horse—a noise of great force, and they say one unto another, `Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Egypt, to come against us.'

¹⁵ and the men of Judah shout—and it cometh to pass, at the shouting of the men of Judah, that God hath smitten Jeroboam, and all Israel, before Abijah and Judah. ¹⁶ And the sons of Israel flee from the face of Judah, and God giveth them into their hand, ¹⁷ and Abijah and his people smite among them a great smiting, and there fall wounded of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.

⁷ `And ye have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen before you by the sword; ⁸ and five of you have pursued a hundred, and a hundred of you do pursue a myriad; and your enemies have fallen before you by the sword.

¹⁹ and ye, stand not, pursue after your enemies, and ye have smitten the hindmost of them; suffer them not to go in unto their cities, for Jehovah your God hath given them into your hand.' ²⁰ And it cometh to pass, when Joshua and the sons of Israel finish to smite them—a very great smiting, till they are consumed, and the remnant who have remained of them go in unto the fenced cities,

⁸ and Jehovah giveth them into the hand of Israel, and they smite them and pursue them unto the great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-Maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward, and they smite them, till he hath not left to them a remnant;

³⁵ Consumed are sinners from the earth, And the wicked are no more. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah!

¹⁷ Who is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a strong one: `Together they lie down—they rise not, They have been extinguished, As flax they have been quenched.'

¹² for as many as without law did sin, without law also shall perish, and as many as did sin in law, through law shall be judged, ¹³ for the judgment without kindness is to him not having done kindness, and exult doth kindness over judgment.

⁶ In the days of Shamgar son of Anath—In the days of Jael—The ways have ceased, And those going in the paths go in crooked ways.

²⁴ Blessed above women is Jael, Wife of Heber the Kenite, Above women in the tent she is blessed.

¹⁹ Causing ministers to go away a spoil And strong ones He overthroweth. ²⁰ Turning aside the lip of the stedfast, And the reason of the aged He taketh away. ²¹ Pouring contempt upon princes, And the girdle of the mighty He made feeble.

⁷ Straitened are the steps of his strength, And cast him down doth his own counsel. ⁸ For he is sent into a net by his own feet, And on a snare he doth walk habitually. ⁹ Seize on the heel doth a gin, Prevail over him do the designing. ¹⁰ Hidden in the earth is his cord, And his trap on the path.
¹¹ Round about terrified him have terrors, And they have scattered him—at his feet. ¹² Hungry is his sorrow, And calamity is ready at his side.

¹¹ Scatter abroad the wrath of thine anger, And see every proud one, and make him low. ¹² See every proud one—humble him, And tread down the wicked in their place.

³⁵ I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant, ³⁶ And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!

²² Their table before them is for a snare, And for a recompence—for a trap.

⁴⁰ He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy—no way.

²³ The pride of man humbleth him, And humility of spirit upholdeth honour.

²¹ There is no peace, said my God, to the wicked!

¹⁹ As when one fleeth from the face of the lion, And the bear hath met him, And he hath come in to the house, And hath leant his hand on the wall, And the serpent hath bitten him. ²⁰ Is not the day of Jehovah darkness and not light, Even thick darkness that hath no brightness?

¹⁹ And Elisha saith unto them, `This is not the way, nor is this the city; come after me, and I lead you unto the man whom ye seek;' and he leadeth them to Samaria.

⁴³ (lo, I am standing by the fountain of water), then the virgin who is coming out to draw, and I have said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher,

²⁵ Water he asked—milk she gave; In a lordly dish she brought near butter. ²⁶ Her hand to the pin she sendeth forth, And her right hand to the labourers' hammer, And she hammered Sisera—she smote his head, Yea, she smote, and it passed through his temple.

¹⁰ And he riseth, and goeth to Zarephath, and cometh in unto the opening of the city, and lo there, a widow woman gathering sticks, and he calleth unto her, and saith, `Bring, I pray thee, to me, a little water in a vessel, and I drink.'

¹⁷ The poor and the needy are seeking water, And there is none, Their tongue with thirst hath failed, I, Jehovah do answer them, The God of Israel—I forsake them not.

⁷ there cometh a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, `Give me to drink;'

³ And the king of Jericho sendeth unto Rahab, saying, `Bring out the men who are coming in unto thee, who have come into thy house, for to search the whole of the land they have come in. <sup>4</sup> And the woman taketh the two men, and hideth them, and saith thus: `The men came in unto me, and I have not known whence they are; ⁵ and it cometh to pass—the gate is to be shut—in the dark, and the men have gone out; I have not known whither the men have gone; pursue ye, hasten after them, for ye overtake them;'

²⁰ And the servants of Absalom come in unto the woman to the house, and say, `Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?' and the woman saith to them, `They passed over the brook of water;' and they seek, and have not found, and turn back to Jerusalem.

²¹ and Ehud putteth forth his left hand, and taketh the sword from off his right thigh, and striketh it into his belly;

³¹ And after him hath been Shamgar son of Anath, and he smiteth the Philistines—six hundred men—with an ox-goad, and he saveth—he also—Israel.

¹⁵ and he findeth a fresh jaw-bone of an ass, and putteth forth his hand and taketh it, and smiteth with it—a thousand men.

⁴³ And the Philistine saith unto David, `Am I a dog that thou art coming unto me with staves?' and the Philistine revileth David by his gods,

⁴⁹ and David putteth forth his hand unto the vessel, and taketh thence a stone, and slingeth, and smiteth the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone sinketh into his forehead, and he falleth on his face to the earth. ⁵⁰ And David is stronger than the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smiteth the Philistine, and putteth him to death, and there is no sword in the hand of David,

⁷ Rise, O Jehovah! save me, my God. Because Thou hast smitten All mine enemies on the cheek. The teeth of the wicked Thou hast broken.

¹⁹ for it hath been written, `I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;'

²⁷ but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong;

³ and I bring back all the people unto thee—as the turning back of the whole is the man whom thou art seeking—all the people are peace.

¹⁰ and he also, the son of valour, whose heart is as the heart of the lion, doth utterly melt, for all Israel doth know that thy father is a hero, and sons of valour are those with him. ¹¹ `So that I have counselled: Let all Israel be diligently gathered unto thee, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude, and thou thyself art going in the midst; <sup>12</sup> and we have come in unto him in one of the places where he is found, and we are upon him as the dew falleth on the ground, and there hath not been left of him and of all the men who are with him even one. <sup>13</sup> And if unto a city he is gathered, then they have caused all Israel to bear unto that city ropes, and we have drawn it unto the brook till that there hath not been found there even a stone.' <sup>14</sup> And Absalom saith—and all the men of Israel—`Better is the counsel of Hushai the Archite than the counsel of Ahithophel;' and Jehovah willed to make void the good counsel of Ahithophel for the sake of Jehovah's bringing unto Absalom the evil.
¹⁵ And Hushai saith unto Zadok and unto Abiathar the priests, `Thus and thus hath Ahithophel counselled Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and thus I have counselled;

¹⁸ `Is not Jehovah your God with you? yea, He hath given rest to you round about, for He hath given into my hand the inhabitants of the land, and subdued hath been the land before His people.

²⁴ `And the sons come in, and possess the land, and Thou humblest before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and givest them into their hand, and their kings, and the peoples of the land, to do with them according to their pleasure.

³⁹ And Thou girdest me with strength for battle, Causest my withstanders to bow under me.

⁴⁷ God—who is giving vengeance to me, And He subdueth peoples under me,

³ He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

¹⁴ As a little thing their enemies I cause to bow, And against their adversaries I turn back My hand,

²⁸ and when the all things may be subjected to him, then the Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to him the all things, that God may be the all in all.

³³ who through faith did subdue kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped mouths of lions,

¹² In that day I establish unto Eli all that I have spoken unto his house, beginning and completing;
